The two-state solution is a proposed diplomatic solution for the Israeli-Palestinian conflict. The proposal envisions an independent State of Palestine that borders Israel. Palestinian leadership has supported the concept since the 1982 Arab Summit in Fez. In 2017 the Hamas (a Palestinian Resistance movement that controls the Gaza strip) accepted the solution without recognizing Israel as a state. The current Israeli leadership has stated that a two-state solution can only exist without Hamas and the current Palestinian leadership. The U.S. would have to take a central role in any talks bet…

My preference is a single state monitored internationally that treats the Jews as a respected religion but not a biological race.

Palestine deserves to be acknowledged and treated globally as its own independent state, with the same rights that countries like Israel have access to — particularly foreign aid for when atrocities are committed on their soil. Free Palestine.
Isreal is not a place, palestine is the name of the country and it should be free from occupiers. Palestine for Palestinians.

No and Palestinian land should be returned to their people.
A two-state solution has been offered countless times to Palestine and they have refused as they want all of the land.
A two-state solution as a short term solution to end the violence and ensure the possibility of a future establishment of an eventual federal state that includes equal rights for Israelis, Palestinians and everyone else, which is guaranteed by a series of checks and balances (possibly including foreign oversight).
In an ideal world, a secular state similar to lebanon guaranteeing rights to Muslims Jews and Christians while granting autonomy. A 2 state solution will always be inherently worse for the Palestinians.
I watched Omer Bartov explain why a confederation would be the only option with a differentiation between residency and citizenship. This would not be the perfect solution but it would be a step in the right direction or a different direction at least. a single state with two separate formations of governance
Indifferent as I don’t believe civility will ever be achieved in countries where corruption and religion supersede political democracy
@9QGT7BF2yrs2Y
Yes and that is what Israel has been trying to establish for decades but Hamas and other leaders of the Palestinian people have refused again and again. Hamas is a terrorist organisation.
Yes, but the current land distribution was hugely imbalanced, Palestine was given only arid desert and Isreal got the useable farmland.
@9L7W9VL2yrs2Y
Yes, but only if measures are in place to keep both sides in check, and to if people were allowed to freely immigrate between both states
